This paper describes a stability and dynamic characteristics of bearingless helicopter main rotor in hover. Baseline rotor configuration is defined and modal analysis for the configuration is taken to verify the dynamic characteristics. The kinematic pitch-lag couplings through ways of pitch link installation are analyzed to know effects on loads, frequencies and stability. The effects of pitch link attachments in spanwise direction and chordwise direction as well as pitch link inclination on thrust, power, flpa-lag-pitch mode frequencies and inplane damping are examined. Pitch link at trailing edge location in chordwise direction has influence on aeroelastic stability of the rotor. Also, the pitch link with negative inclination angle makes inplane damping increase.

Prediction of the rotor blade performance is important for determining design factors such as weight and size in development of a small-scale helicopter. Generally, prediction of helicopter performance means the estimation of the power required for a given flight condition. However, due to lack of test data and analyzed results for small-scale rotor blade operated at low Reynolds numbers ($Re{\approx}10^5$), this is not an easy task. As an initial research, this work performs a modeling of a single rotor configuration with FLIGHTLAB and a experimental research with rotor test bed. In this process, we performed small-scale isolated single rotor by experimental and numerical method and achieved good agreement of the hover performance on the test data and simulation results.

Recently, the composite materials are widely used for manufacturing the helicopter rotor blades. furthermore, composites show great potential on the design of rotor blades due to the advantages of strength, durability and weight of the materials. To keep with this advantages, it is necessary to calculate natural frequencies of a rotating blades for avoiding resonance. In this paper, the structural design process of airfoil cross section is introduced, and natural frequencies of composite rotor blades with variable rpm we investigated.

In order to develop an precision aerial pesticide application system to be attached to an unmanned helicopter which can be applied to small lots of land, this study analyzed the flowing and spraying characteristics of the spray droplets by the main rotor downwash by setting the application conditions at the flight altitude of 3 m, the diameter of main rotor of 3.1 m, the boom length of around 2.8 m, and the spraying rate of 8 L/ha. The results of this study are summarized below. Through analysis of the covering area ratio of the spray droplets by main rotor downwash by nozzle type, boom with tilt angle and height, it was found that the covering area ratio of the twin flat-fan nozzle of around 25% was more uniform than other types of nozzle, also boom with $10^{\circ}$ tilt angle and spraying height of 3 m was shown to be the appropriate conditions for aerial application of pesticides. It was found that the nozzle position to minimize the scattering loss of spray droplets due to vortex phenomenon at both ends of the main rotor was around 10 cm from the end of the main rotor. An application test for the aerial pesticide application system attached to the HUA-ACEI unmanned helicopter developed by the Rural Development Administration showed that the range of covering area ratio of the spray droplets was 10-25%, and the spraying width was approximately 7 m when over 10% of covering area ratio was considered for valid spraying.

본 논문은 헬리콥터 기동비행문제를 비선형 최적제어기법으로 정식화 하고 이를 indirect method를 적용하여 해석하는 기법에 대한 연구결과이다. 주어진 기동비행 경로에 대한 오차를 벌칙함수 형태의 가격함수로 채택하고 이를 최소화하도록 정식화하면 기동비행은 구속조건이 없는 최적제어문제로 정식화 된다. 정식화 결과로 얻어지는 이점 경계값 문제는 Multiple Shooting Method (MSM)를 적용하여 해석하였다. 본 논문은 high fidelity 헬리콥터 모델링을 적용할 경우 수치해의 불안정성과 과도한 계산시간에 따른 해석의 어려움을 해소하는 방안을 찾는데 초점을 두고 있다. 이를 위해 2가지의 선형모델과 로터의 비선형 모델링을 포함한 2개의 비선형 모델을 정의하였다. 각 모델링 방법의 적용에 따른 수치해석결과를 상대적인 계산시간과 함수계산 횟수 등을 비교하여 헬리콥터 모델 선정 시 활용할 수 있도록 하였다.

The goal of this paper is to develop an on-board controller for a model helicopter's hovering attitude control, using i8096 one-chip microcontroller. Required controller algorithm is programmed in ASM-96 assembly language and downloaded into an i8096 microcontroller. The performance of hovering flight using this system is verified by experiments with the model helicopter mounted on an instrumented flight stand where 3 potentiometers and an optical proximity sensor measure te attitude and main rotor speed of the helicopter.

물리 기반의 헬리콥터 시뮬레이션은 항공학, 항공역학 등의 분야에서 많이 연구되어 오고 있으나, 복잡한 수식, 많은 계산량 등으로 인해 사실성과 속도를 동시에 추구하는 컴퓨터 그래픽스 분야에는 적용하기 어려웠다. 본 논문에서는 컴퓨터 그래픽스 분야에 적용할 수 있도록 구현하기 쉽고, 실시간 헬리콥터 시뮬레이션을 가능하게 하는 헬리콥터 회전 깃(rotor blades)의 역학적 모델을 제안한다. 헬리콥터는 회전 깃과 공기의 충돌로 발생한 힘을 통해 운동하는데, 이는 유체와 강체가 충돌해서 발생하는 충돌력으로 설명할 수 있다. 이를 근거로 근사화한 회전 깃의 역학적 모델을 도입하면, 기존의 강체 시뮬레이션 방법으로 유체와 강체가 충돌하는 헬리콥터의 움직임을 실시간 시뮬레이션 할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 실시간 계산이 가능하도록 뉴턴의 양력 계산법을 응용하여 회전 깃의 움직임으로 발생하는 힘을 구한다. 본 논문이 제안하는 방법에 따라 구현된 프로토타입 시스템은 실제와 유사한 헬리콥터 시뮬레이션을 실시간에 처리할 수 있음을 보였다.

In the environment where various and complicated threat signals exist, RWR (Radar Warning Receiver), which can warn pilot of the existence of threats, has long been a necessary electronic warfare (EW) system to improve survivability of aircraft. The angle of arrival (AOA) information, the most reliable sorting parameter in the RWR, is measured by means of four-quadrant amplitude comparison direction finding (DF) technique. Each of four antennas (usually spiral antenna) of DF unit covers one of four quadrant zones, with 90 degrees apart with nearby antenna. According to the location of antenna installed in helicopter, RWR is subject to signal loss and interference by helicopter body and structures including tail bumper, rotor blade, and so on, causing a difficulty of detecting hostile emitters. In this paper, the performance degradation caused by signal interference by tail rotor blades has been estimated by measuring amplitude video signals into which RWR converts RF signals in case a part of antenna is screened by real tail rotor blade in anechoic chamber. The results show that corruption of pulse amplitude (PA) is main cause of DF error. We have proposed two algorithms for resolving the interference by tail rotor blades as below: First, expand the AOA group range for pulse grouping at the first signal analysis phase. Second, merge each of pulse trains with the other, that signal parameter except PRI and AOA is similar, after the first signal analysis phase. The presented method makes it possible to use RWR by reducing interference caused by blade screening in case antenna is screened by tail rotor blades.
